I have some information on the book of Hebrews that I would like to contribute. Could that page be unprotected so that I can add the info? Cpark 08:37, 4 Feb 2005 (PST)
Okay, I've unprotected the main index page for Hebrews (and for all the other books of the Bible)
I'm not sure where to post this info, so I thought that it'd fit here. I'm a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to wikis, so I have some ideas regarding the layout of songs. Currently each song has a separate page linking to its lyrics instead of just writing a heading and let the lyrics be underneath. Linking means that there will be a very large amount of pages as soon as we start to really grow, and it might be confusing for especially new users. I also have to object against the same behaviour being practised when it comes to, for example the page about Matt Redman. Can't his info and/or bio reside in that page instead of the current About Matt Redman.
Back to songs. Right now all songs have the name in the page title, meaning that it might be a little difficult to see what pages are songs, what pages are articles and so on. On another wiki wer'e using namespaces to make things easier. That means that songs have the page prefix Song: and that it is separately searchable. Free Bible Dictionary does already follow that naming scheme, and it works pretty well to keep it from cluttering, doesn't it?
Feel free to comment on my ideas. Etnoy 02:08, 18 Mar 2005 (PST)
Hi, Regarding the issue of lyrics, Graham grove is doing that wonderful work and you can go ahead and discuss any ideas for improvement with him. It is a matter of style and some times planning for the growth in future. As long as the pages have proper links, it may not be confusing but I think some of the pages that have just one page link can be made part of other pages. Discuss the issue with Graham grove and agree on a plan or agree to disagree.
Thanks, Prab
